The factor-endowment theory predicts that because the United States is relatively abundant in capital and relatively scarce in labor, it will export capital-intensive goods, and its import-competing goods will be labor intensive. In the 1950s, Wassily Leontief, a Russian-American economist, tested this proposition by analyzing the capital/labor ratios of export industries and import-competing industries, using U. S. data. He found that the capital/labor ratio for U. S. export industries was lower than that of the United Statesâ import-competing industries, which means that U. S. exports were less capital intensive than import-competing goods. These findings appeared to contradict the predictions of the factor-endowment theory and became known as the Leontief paradox. Replicate Leontief's test using the date shown in the following table. Compute the ratio for exports and imports, and enter each value in the last column of the table.

Used to produce $1 Million Worth ofâ¦ Capital (Dollars) Labor(Person-years) Capital/ Labor Ratio (Dollars per person- year)
Exports 1,800,000 80
Imports 3,000,000 100

The numbers in the previous table show that US. exports are and U. S. imports are

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
